Joe Biden Is Hillary Clinton 2.0 — Democrats Would Be Mad to Nominate Him.

Have the Democrats gone mad? Are they really planning on putting up the same type of candidate against Donald Trump in 2020 that they put up against him in 2016? Is the party bent on nominating Hillary 2.0?

How else to describe Joe Biden, the former vice president and ex-senator from Delaware, who is leading in the polls and has hinted that he’d reveal whether he’s running for president in “a few weeks” and might select a running mate early in the process?

Forget, for a moment, his “blue-collar-uncle-at-the-end-of-the-bar persona.” Ignore also his recent, and ridiculous, claim to have the “most progressive record of anybody” running for president. Consider, instead, the sheer number of similarities he seems to have with the vanquished Democratic presidential candidate of 2016.

More on each of the topics below in full article...

Iraq War supporter? Check.

Friend of Wall Street? Check.

Champion of mass incarceration? Check. Millions of black voters refused to turn out for Clinton in 2016. Why wouldn’t they do the same in response to a Biden candidacy in 2020?

Establishment-friendly? Check.

Gaffe-prone? Check.

Loser? Check.

Yet now, it seems, he and his supporters believe this serial loser is the only Democratic candidate able to win back white-working class voters from Trump and triumph in the 2020 presidential election?

Where is the actual evidence for this ludicrous claim? For a start, a recent poll found that “every potential Democratic candidate in the 2020 presidential election — announced and unannounced — would beat President Trump in a head-to-head contest.” (As Biden himself conceded to The Intercept in December, “I think anybody can beat him.”)

The bigger issue, however, is that there is no question for the Democrats in 2020 to which Biden is the answer. Have they really learned no lessons from three years ago?

He kicked off his campaign in Charlottesville?

Boy, the Democrats are really milking that one death by an aspie incel 2 years ago from among ~300M of the White Population.

Trump should open his 2020 campaign in Dallas to an audience of Police.

Because clearly the threat of the fifteen white supremacists who showed up to get their asses kicked by the horde of Antifa fascists are the most threatening problem in America today.

Wikileaks should publish the letter he wrote to the dean of syracuse law school begging not to be thrown out for his cheating.

Biden's campaign is going to be amazing in light of all the Lobbying Violations re: Ukraine indictments that are coming up.

Greg Craig is knee deep in that, and we still got another 11 impending investigations around that.

Plus all of Biden's Sons involved.
